When using the ‘Standing Jog’ technique, participants should:
  1. Remain in the same position as for a standing climb.
  2. Lean from side to side to help cope with the faster cadence.
  3. Reduce the resistance from a standing climb so they can pedal faster.
  4. Lean on their hands to help support their body weight.
Explanation
Answer: A - When using the ‘Standing Jog’ technique, participants should remain in the same position as for a standing climb. Resistance should be high enough to support the body weight while standing and not allow the pedals to ‘snap’ or jerk. Rocking or leaning over the handlebars is poor technique and creates dangerous lateral forces on the hip, back and shoulders that can lead to injury. Participants should be very competent in the standing climb position before being asked to attempt the standing jog.
